A Scottish woman footballer has been showered with praise after she fixed her dislocated knee and kept playing for the remaining match without asking for a substitute. St Mirren WFC shared a 26-second clip in which Jane O’Toole, the captain of the soccer team, can be seen falling on the ground and dislocating her knee during a Scottish cup game against Inverness.

Immediately after the dislocation, O’Toole displayed her grit by hammering it back with her fist instead of seeking medical attention. The incident occurred in the 50th minute of the game when O’Toole refused to quit despite her team being 6-0 down and kept playing for the rest of the match after fixing her knee.
